Illogical and self-defeating in a way. UTA has our 2025 FRP which is currently #21. If they were to beat us tomorrow, and then the Wolves were to flame out in the Play-in, that pick could vault up to the end of the Lottery at #14.

I'll happily accept their G League roster for a crucial game, though, and then root like hell for GSW.

I gotta be honest, if I were other teams, I'd be super pissed off about this.

Unless the Wolves/Ant are able to prove that the profanity was directed at himself and not the official, I tend to agree with you.

On the other hand, if Ant's actions were called a T every time in an NBA game there would be several dozen (or more) called every game.

So, I am conflicted, even if it does benefit the Wolves in this case.

Another aspect would be if Edwards had been warned leading up to the call.

I also wonder if the Ref that gave him the technical told the League that he might've overreacted on the call.

Utah is tied for the worst record in the league. They want that top pick. Losing helps with that.

We would also get the first pick in the 2nd round I believe.

Apparently I really enjoy ignoring the obvious while trying to manufacture a talking point.

I stand corrected, sir.
